Sulcata and Leopard Tortoise Pool

Rescued a pair of 7 year old leopard tortoises and we are setting up their perfect home! #shorts #tortoise

[@susanlawson5926]

I didn’t know they could walk that fast!! Bee lined right into the house! U built them a mansion….they ❤ it!!!

[@emmaleanduron8034]

I have two red eared sliders and when on the ground they are literally so fast it surprised me not only me but my littles they got scared how fast they run ( I’m assuming it’s to get away from predators after basking or being on dry land)

[@SmellersJ]

That little 🐢 trot back in his house was absolutely adorable. Made my heart melt. ❤

[@flogarr1]

You didn't put in a drain so you can change the water and clean the pool. Made it harder on yourself. The tutus are so cute.😊

[@pattib1914]

Did you seal the concrete? There is a special sealer that you have to us on concrete or it will make the water toxic.

[@carlaamanda86]

Omg the little duckies in the background!!! So cute!

[@Stacy_SJA]

I never saw anyone make a pond with concrete… but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work! Pls keep us updated on this project!

[@MedicoreMacaroni]

Another lady who makes shorts with a sulcata named TipToe also has a concrete pool. I recommend checking them out! They're so cute.

[@Bloz_Gaming]

Is it just me or that leopard looks like it's pyramiding

[@brittanywellman7655]

Yep. Thought the same thing…

[@Skywarp076]

Really bad pyramiding

[@josielasher779]

They obviously love it! Can't wait to see it with the pool filled

[@bonnypurac5923]

They are so cute and there living area looks beautiful.

[@rayrieder2380]

Wow you did a fantastic job! Love your tortoises. They are beautiful 🐢🐢

[@jennifermarie1230]

I need to know what you do for work! Your home is beautiful!! LOVE the enclosure!!

[@modaciouslav4792]

That’s what I’m wondering. Everything she does every room every project is crazy expensive.. I’m just curious what they do for a living 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@terryeaston5311]

I'm sure her husband knows how to care for his family , she definitely knows how to do projects that save money , why are you butting into her business to begin with " her finances is no one's business... sheesh get a life and mind your own ..

[@jewelsgators28]

OMG I LOVE THIS!! VERY CREATIVE

[@MegaMo411]

This is lovely!! ❤ Can we see it filled with water? I’d love to see how they’re enjoying their new pool.

[@canditamcguckian1031]

That looks fantastic ❤

[@af612]

That is so cool. They are fast. Awesome project.

[@AirJKB13]

Love their houses! Pool view.

[@zuser12345]

Very nice! Are you concerned about the tortoises flipping/rolling down the steeper side? Would hate to lose one of them in the water upside down.

[@robertamaclean3384]

Your turtle area looks amazing. You seem like you're an amazing person too.

[@alissavarnadoe7453]

Y'all did an awesome job I'm sure they will love it❤❤❤❤❤❤🐢🐢

[@nancyrowlen3937]

Love it! This is so awesome! Are you going to provide them with a little grassy area and a little tree for hot days?

[@janastan1125]

[@sierraadams-gregory9071]

We need in update. Please. This is so cute.

[@creativechild9175]

[@diannacarbajal9072]

[@chrisg.5585]

Looks like a great home and pool. That is some big pyramiding tho on them

[@josettedotson7039]

Beautiful 💐

[@connieharney8829]

Beautiful !

[@CameronCustoms]

Leopard tortoises are the fastest species of tortoise in the world. Reaching speeds of up to 0.62mph.

[@ledwards7171]

Looks great. Just be careful of the pebbles. They can eat them and get obstuctions in their gut.

[@Hello_kitty525]

The docks 🐥😭❤️❤️❤️❤️👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@user-lg9ue7zt4v]

Great job ❤

[@wendybarnwell526]

[@BrittanyCope]

The scouts on these babies backs 😢

[@flynryder9998]

Everything u do is so cool 😎 😊xx

[@lauraweinfurtner5670]

Great job 👏 👍

[@retropunk111]

wow this is so fancy❤❤❤

[@charlottefranklin4264]

LOVE IT!!! #turtlelife ❤

[@mariagents9575]

There shells are bad I think whoever you got them from didn’t take care of them

[@DatGurlCookz_LuvsMakeupToo]

How can u tell?

[@mariagents9575]

All the high bumps all over

[@brittanywellman7655]

Yep. Came here to say this.

[@MamaGerg]

They're gonna just leave 😂 our tortoises ran away when I was little

[@denisepearson6572]

❤❤ Great build for your new family members

[@tammylapointe1306]

Too Cool😮

[@JoelTrucking]

I wouldn’t add pebbles or gravel. Tortoise 🐢 sometimes have a bad habit of eating them,but amazing set up!

[@1bestfriend2u18]

So cool 😎

[@darnellrucker6700]

Nice! ❤

[@amyjones2320]

Awesome job…I would love to soak in there myself.

[@krisbaranowski746]

How are you going to wash it out?

[@kaylarodriguez7008]

The heat will most likely evaporate a ton of water during the summer, & they’ll have to refill frequently. So I’m sure they’ll find time when the water is low to clean it.

[@tarampryce1372]

I'm pretty sure you need a liner... I think with just concrete the levels will change and it will Crack and chunk

[@user-hn9bi2xd2n]

Great ideas and cute turtles. What about automatic water drainage and pipe to clean the old water out. Mmm. Maybe a small koi water one with automatic water dispenser kind of thing. Lol

[@BreeZyTee84]

You gotta be careful with those small pebbles bc they like to eat them and it will clog up their digestive tract and can be fatal...

[@LaughingRandomly]

I'd paint the concrete with pool paint 😎

[@judyflynn1604]

Are they safe from the bobcat?

[@PalomarCabinRentals]

Lovely pond but PLEASE don’t use pebbles in a tortoise enclosure… it’s very common for tortoises to try to eat pebbles, and when they do, they can become very sick and/or become impacted, which can be fatal. 😢

[@karenbeckett2577]

Beautiful when can I move in .out door spar pool 😅😅😅😅

[@jacquie1014]

Watch the little pebbles they could eat them while eating food on them ..😮

[@laylaforaker2621]

what area do y’all stay in ?? i want a tortoise but i’m so scared they’ll like, freeze lol 😔😹

[@esquejoe]

Omg where did you get the turtle house?!

[@Anna_Beth_]

Can you do an update on this project now with water in the little pond? TY

[@yeahnope3378]

I was told pebbles could be eaten and could kill them.. 😢 just something to think about..

[@lsgrosieh]

Are you sure they won't eat the pebbles? It can be fatal after some yrs.

[@Skywarp076]

Their poor shells😢

[@KristynCole]

I know 😭

[@victoriaaletaaustria2817]

How big trouble and expensive Americans do for animals like these tortoises. Here, they will be given to the zoo, not simple to take care unlike dogs/cats. They can no longer go on trips, used up time to tend to these. (What if they become bigger? That fake pool will not be enough like their houses.) The funds instead could be used for children's education, foods, and house repair.

[@bec_in_tx]

I know several people with torts. They go on vacation and ask others they trust watch them. As for funds, a lot of us already pay a lot in taxes or donate, so it is no biggy to also have a tort. It is easier to take care of torts than one would think.
